After rvm installation on CentOS 5.8:

[rails@localhost ~]$ rvm -v
rvm 1.16.17
[rails@localhost ~]$ which ruby
~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p286/bin/ruby
[rails@localhost ~]$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p286 (2012-10-12 revision 37165) [i686-linux]
[rails@localhost ~]$ which gem
~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p286/bin/gem

there is a warning:

$ gem -v
/home/rails/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p286/lib/ruby/1.9.1/yaml.rb:56:in `<top (required)>':
It seems your ruby installation is missing psych (for YAML output).
To eliminate this warning, please install libyaml and reinstall your ruby.
1.8.24

I followed some advice:

$ rvm pkg install libyaml
Fetching yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz to /home/rails/.rvm/archives
Extracting yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz to /home/rails/.rvm/src
Prepare yaml in /home/rails/.rvm/src/yaml-0.1.4.
Configuring yaml in /home/rails/.rvm/src/yaml-0.1.4.
Compiling yaml in /home/rails/.rvm/src/yaml-0.1.4.
Installing yaml to /home/rails/.rvm/usr

Please note that it's required to reinstall all rubies:

    rvm reinstall all --force

and then:

$ rvm reinstall all --force

Too bad, the warning is still there:

$ gem -v

1.8.24

How can I get rid of the warning?
